Honey bee safari

Wednesdays at 10AM

Welcome to honey bee safari to learn about organic bee-keeping in northern Saimaa Lakeland. With the protective gear provided, you will be able to have an inside look of a bee hive. In the surroundings, we will look for plants that provide the nectar needed by the bees. In between, we will enjoy a picnic. You will also get a taste of the bee hive: honey from the honeycomb, pollens and propolis. You are also welcome to try bee drone larvae, if you feel brave enough. What is more you can hear about our organic farm and taste our juice made from our own berries which have been pollinated by our own bees.

Availability: 24.6.-25.8. on Wednesdays at 10amAdress: Mölsänniementie 100, OravisaloDuration: 2-3 hoursMin: 2 personsPrice: 60 €/person
Fee covers guide, protective gear, honey tasting, picnic (including organic berry juice from our farm, bread, honey and a baked good) and a pot of local honey to take home. On rainy and cool days, the bee hives can only be opened for a quick look. In that case, we will spend more time indoors studying what is found inside the hives and tasting the different bee products.
